Mr.. FULKERsoN ALSO OBJECTS.
Mr.. Fulkerson, of Washington, Of
fercd the following resolution

f6rCd the following resolution
1. Rssolrsd Qhe Senate concurrine), That the
,oint committee appointed 70 confer with the
committee Of the Council of Foreign BOndhcid-
crs with reference 70 q settlement of the public
debt be- and il IL hereby, authorized "a adopt
such rules az 20 The admission OF persons INTO
the conference rooms Of the committees "a
may seem cXpedient and consistent WITH the
proper dispatch Of business
= Rc,Olrei. That tho individual members OF
said committee shall not be bound 10 secrecy
by oath, pledge. or resolution. but shAll De nee
10 imTart 10 the members u the Legislature
and Executive such information with reference
10 the proceedings Of said committee a5 they
deem proper.
Mr.. Fulkerson urged it's adoption.
Mr.. Wise Republican), of James
! City, said he wanted the discussion and
consideration of this great question to
be as open as possible. He was willing
to say that he desired no one to be
present except members of this General
Assembly who have to pass on this ques-
ton finally.
Speaker Stuart, of Alexandria (Mr.
Pollard in the chair. said hc had to OPP
pose this resolution. To open the
room while the commission is debating,
discussing. and trying to bring about
some conclusion would greatly cmbar-
rass the work of the commission. To
have the doors thrown open may pre-
vent a conclusion from being reached
at all.
Nh Curlett, of Lancaster (Repub-
lican). said that he hoped all such reso-
utiens would he voted down. He had
too high a regard for the members
of the legislative commission to believe
that it WAS necessary that the public
should be present.
| yF. CARDwELL FOR TIE RESOLUTION.
Mr.. Cardwell thought that the adop-
ton of this resolution would greatly ex-
| pedite the business of the commission.
| IL would enable the members of the
| General Assembly TO confer with the
commission, and thus allow the mem
| bers to know in general what is going
| on. The resolution does not compel
the commission to admit any one. 1t
only gives them the privilege OF acting
relative to the admission of outside
members as in their judgment would
be consistent with the intelligent dis
patch Of business.
Mr.. Fulkerson, of Washington, again
urged the adoption of the joint resolu,
ton. During his remarks he referred
to the fact that this special session oi
the Legislature was now within one
day of the end. He did not believe
that members, most of whom had al
ready drawn all their pay, would stay
here with no per diem coming IN.
TIE PRESS.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-05-03

Mr.. WaddiIl Republican,, of Hen
rico. moved as an amendment that the
members of the Legislature and OF the
nress be admitted. Mr.. Waddill was
particularly in favor of letting the
newspaper men in. "Let your Demo
cratic journals herald forth what the
commission is doing" he SAID. he
thought that the secrecy gave tIng,e
of suspicion to the proceedings. and
furthermore, he thought it was high
handed measure.
Mr.. Curlett, of Lancaster, moved as
a substitute for the whole that the com
mittee he discharged from the conslder"-
tion of the subject and that the gentle
man from Henrico be authorized 10 set-
tie the debt. Laughter.
he TRUSTS THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Saunders. OF Franklin, hoped al
these resolutions would be voted down;
He thought that as the committee hal.
been given this work 10 do they ought
10 lie allowed to control their own ac-
ton. .;t
MIR Fieoat, of Botetourt IA commit
teeman), said that it could certainly "a 40

no individual should give out any IN,

THE Wheeling Register of yesterday
has the following:
On Saturday evening bad tight was
the excitement in Morristown, Belmont
county, the particulars of which are
about as follows: 1t seems that Graves
Griffith. superintendent of the schools,
and Robt. Hazlett, a well known citizen
of the village, had been in partnership in
the photograph business. which part
nership had been dissolved, since which
time there has not been friendly feel
ing between the parties. 1t is said that
on every occasion, whether in public or
otherwise, Hazlett called Griffith insult
ing names. and at the time above named,
forbearance ceasing to be a virtue,
stung by an insult. knocked
Hazlett down and pounded him about
the head uatil his hand was fearfully
bruised. In the meantime HaZIett suc-
ceeded in drawing knife, with which
he cut Griffith behind the ear and on the
arm. The latter then jumped upon
and his heel striking him in
the mouth, made bad cut, the upper
lip being cut in two. Hazlett retaliated,
cutting Griffith on the knee, which cut,
our informant says, will probably result
in permanent lameness.

AT the District Conference Tuesday

AT the District Conference. Tuesday,
June 21st, the pastors of GAINESVILLE
District, presented Rev. L. Paine and
wife beautiful silver tea set, purchased
of George Brown & Son, very neatly
and perfectly engraved by George V.
Brown. Rev, w. Darby, the oldest pas
tor in the district, made the speech of
presentation, gem of its kind, neat,
witty and appropriate,
Though taken by complete surprise,
Rev. Paine made feeling and appro>
pirate reply. The conference, in view
of the fact that this year closes bis SER
vices as Presiding Elder of the district,
passed the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, This is the last District Conference
of Bro. Paine's term as Presiding Elder of
Barnesville District, and at the coming session
of the East Ohio Conference, our present rela-
tion to him as pastors and official brethren Will
cease; therefore,
l. ResolUed, That with gratitude to God we
acknowledge the great and substantial prosper
ity Of the whole district under his administra-
ton, and that this prosperity has increased
with each succeeding year.
2. ResOEUed, That we recognize his ability in
the pulpit and chair alike, and, that by his
oYeryslght and wise counsel, he has contribut-
ed very greatly to the grand results of these
four years.
3. ResOE0ed, That our intercourse with him
as he has been a guest in our homes or has
been present on official work in our charges,
has but increased our affection for him as
brother beloved, and our confidence in his
Christian integrity and his humble loyalty to
the Masters work.
4. ResOIOed, That we recognized In Mrs.
Paine a worthy help-meet in her husbands
work, one who is true and loyal to all the
sacred interests of Methodist tinerant's s
home and toll.
5. ReSOtced, That our prayers and our affeo-
tion will 60 with them to their future fields of
labor, and that we shall ever hold in pleasant
remembrance the years We have labored within

The Wool Market.

WHEELING, June 28,-There is moth
ing startling to report in the local market,
not much wool having changed hands the past
week, caused by the difference in prices Of
fered by dealers and those asked by growers,
which state has reference alone to fine woods,
which have become softer in the last week,
although farmers are still holding on for good
prices. Prices are 80 to &c., and buyers gen.
orally are holding back to see if they can't
get it at a lower figure. 1t is said that farmers
are willing to let their stock go at these fig>
ures, but as yet no big sales have been effec>
ted This is G, nerslly due to the fact that
manufacturers cannot get prices for THEN
goods that will warrant their paying big prices
for wool. Prices then remain as follows: Xxx
and above, washed 80 to 32c; unwsshed one>
third off. Medium and coarse grades are still
lively and there is quite large demand for
them. The market is reported a great deal
frmer, shd dealers say they could sell a mil
lion pounds if they could secure it at the
above figures.

The work of tearing down the old

completed. The brick and stone have
been cleaned, and will be used in the
new Ebuilding. About $4,000 have

perity of Bellaire during the past year
in this style:
"We have had splendid year. all in
all. Of course, there have been drawt
backs. There always are. But as a
whole we have had busy, bustling
town for the past year, and our people
are all in pretty good shape. The nail
works is at the top of the heap. the win
dow glass factories closing a good run.
and the flint houses winding up a fair
years business with good patterns, new
shapes and promising outlook for the
fall. Another year of undisturbed &C
tivity in BelIaire, and every body will be
happy aud the town on iii mer basis
than it is even now, and it is good
enough now for anybody"
